ENTREPRENEURIAL ECOSYSTEM
These are the set of public and private agents that favour entrepreneurship in a region and that can help you with the start-up of your company.
The entrepreneurial ecosystem would be everything that facilitates the development of new companies and covers the needs that arise every day for the entrepreneur. It is often referred to as an innovation ecosystem.
Using the tool MentorAdvisor (+) you can locate and directly contact many agents who have been previously selected and positively rated by other entrepreneurs.
Many are published ranking of entrepreneurial ecosystems. In the top positions are those regions with the highest concentration of startups, with the most research centres, the most investors, etc.
The top positions in the ranking are where it is most expensive to create a company, and that is where we have no choice but to be in order to access innovation. Competition is greater and usually goes hand in hand with higher talent recruitment costs, higher implementation costs, etc.
Therefore, don't let yourself be dazzled by the best-known ecosystems such as Silicon Valley, Tel Aviv, Madrid, Barcelona... as everything can be much more expensive. Sometimes you are more interested in an ecosystem that is not famous.
A good ecosystem is one where there is a good relationship between startups, where public-private collaboration is constant, where capital is flowing in. (there are investors, rounds...), access to specialised talent... as is the case in Canary Islands, authentic Paradise for start-ups.
Get in touch with the most important actors that provide support, funding, talent and are part of your ecosystem. To get your business up and running, there are many people in your region who can help you and who you should get to know to take advantage of them - we invite you to find them all and share this information!!!
Look for relevant actors in the ecosystem in your region, accelerators and incubators, whose focus is to improve a startup's chances of success in the market at different stages.
